<p>
  I'm excited to announce that MediaGoblin has
  <a href="/pages/campaign.html">launched our new funding campaign</a>.
  We've got a wonderful new video that I think
  clearly explains our goals for the coming year...
  <a href="/pages/campaign.html">check it out</a>!
</p>

<p>
  This last year has been really excellent -- thanks to your
  support! We've
  <a href="/news/mediagoblin-0.3.2-goblinverse.html">pushed</a>
  <a href="/news/mediagoblin-0.3.3-pixel-party.html">out</a>
  <a href="/news/mediagoblin-0.4.0-hall-of-the-archivist.html">five</a>
  <a href="/news/mediagoblin-0.5.0-goblin-force.html">major</a>
  <a href="/news/mediagoblin-0.6.0-lore-of-the-admin.html">releases</a>,
  hosted <a href="/news/summer-of-awesome.html">six successful internships</a>
  through <a href="/news/opw-gsoc-2013.html">Summer of Code and Outreach Program for Women</a>.
  Plus, we began integrating federation into the main MediaGoblin
  codebase and making
  <a href="/news/pump-api-progress.html">a general purpose federation
    library called PyPump</a>.
</p>

</p>

<p>
  We're not going to stop here!  With
  <a href="/news/on-prism.html">censorship and spying on the rise</a>,
  this last year has also shown just how important our work to
  decentralize media publishing on the web is.  And we've got big
  plans to tackle these issues and even work on tools that all sorts
  of projects can use to improve decentralization on the web.
</p>

<p>
  So we're asking for your help.  We've partnered up again with the Free
  Software Foundation, and we've got a lot of cool things planned:
  wrapping up federation support and releasing 1.0, adding new privacy
  features, podcast support, making MediaGoblin even easier to run and
  deploy!

</p>

<p>
  We're also offering some sweet rewards, and a pixel-art-illustrated
  list of funding milestones.
  <a href="/pages/campaign.html">See for yourself!</a>
</p>

<p>
  Did I mention that since the FSF is a 5013c charity so your
  contributions are tax-deductible in the US?  This also means that if
  your employer does contribution matching, MediaGoblin is an option!
  And finally, for folks who dig our work all year round, we're set up for
  monthly donations.
</p>

<p>
  Anything you can do to spread the word of the campaign REALLY
  helps!  Word of mouth from our supporters is the most effective way to get
  our message out there, so if you can tell your family and friends, post
  to your blog or social networks... we'll be able to build the future of
  the web!
</p>

<p>
  Thanks again for your help!  <i>You</i> make this possible!
